17th Century Manor House with large estate, lakes, tennis court and (shared) swimming pool. The ancient buildings of Logis de Beaulieu are located on the northern slope of a small valley. They are the centre of the private estate Domaine de Beaulieu with its small woods, fields, meadows, three lakes and the old cottage of Saint Germain (see Gite Saint Germain), located 450 metres from the manor house. The tennis court is a little bit old already, please note it's not for professionals.

Beaulieu is a most stunning place to stay, and all six of us had an unforgettable week! The house is exquisite both inside and out, and has the feel of an ancestral home, which being privatley owned for several generations - it is. The inside is huge and airy with wood panelling , massive antique fireplaces, period furniture, a dining room which is big enough to play badminton in ( Don't!) Huge antique cabinets open to reveal many suprises, sometimes dining crockery for a party of 20, sometimes more board games than I knew existed. The kitchen is large and quirky, with a stainless steel range cooker and fabulous 1960's cupboards in a moss colour Formica - I love it. Upstairs the dream goes on with big loftly bedrooms with polished original dark wood floors, charming chairs and tables, and comfortable beds. The bathrooms are refreshingly off -beat , some with 1960 baths and basins in daring colours. Anywhere else this might raise an eye brow - but in this fantastic house it is just part of it's unselfconsious charm. Outside large grounds surround you with it's own central tree lined avenue , hazy feilds, a good tennis court, patches of woodland, a lake complete with small rowing boat for our use, the water teeming with fish, the air with dragonflies, while kingfishers watch from trees. In the afternoon we would swim in the immaculate infinity swimming pool and admire the unspoilt views across the country side as our heads bobbed in the water. The pool was deliciously clean , blue ,and refreshing. We spent the long warm evenings grouped around the garden table, laughing, sipping cool drinks and enjoying the aroma of our dinner drifting out from the kitchen(URL HIDDEN)

If you are looking to relax and have some alone time you will find this here. The accommodation is a french cottage renovated to a high standard and a modern shower room.
From the bedroom you have access to your own patio and a shared pool.

La Petite Mansion was the perfect base for a relaxing holiday in the Charente. Katrina, Kim and their family were fantastic friendly hosts. The gite is based in a very quiet location, with a lovely garden and fantastic star gazing. The terrace was lovely for evening meals and the amenities were homely. Thank you for the wine, homemade soap and for helping us with directions and places to visit.

Beautiful house in a fabulous country setting. We loved the views of the rolling hills from the swimming pool, and the late afternoon BBQ by the pool. Kitchen was really well equipped and there was plenty of space for our large group. Highly recommended!

Moulin de la Montagne is a 300 year old mill house with a 2 bedroom gite nestled in the heart of the Charente - 4 bedroom rental for families or larger groups also available (see listing).
Private pool, rustic French charm and peaceful surroundings.

The gite at Moulin de la Montagne, provides a touch of cosy rustic French charm with all the comfort, peace and tranquility you'd want. The gite is self-contained and adjoined to the main house, but totally secluded allowing for privacy.
The gite has 2 bedrooms sleeping up to 5 people but can also be rented out as a 4 bedroom gite for up to 9 people (please see other listing).
Due to the age and character of the property, there are some low beams upstairs.
We extend a warm welcome to all our guests at the Moulin de la Montagne. We will usually be on hand in the main house to give you some friendly help or advice on places to visit, things to do, where to eat, and for making any bookings, should you want it. However, we will also be very discreet as your privacy and freedom to enjoy all that we have to offer is paramount.

There are so many interesting places to visit and activities for all ages nearby. It's lovely spending time exploring sleepy riverside villages, medieval towns steeped in history, countless vineyards and wineries, and the lovely Atlantic coastline. Or just spend time simply sitting in a cafe/bar with a coffee or glass of Pineau (the local aperatif) and watching the world go by. There's a real joy in browsing the many colourful markets with their delicious local produce and taking part in the fetes and festivals where you can really mix with the welcoming locals. It's always lots of fun and a great ambience.
As we're so nicely tucked away, we recommend you have a car while staying at Moulin de la Montagne. Plus it helps you visit more of the area!
We also provide:
Welcome basket on arrival with some essentials to start you off
All bed linen, bath towels and pool towels
Selection of DVDs, CDs, books and board games
Information on places to visit, activities in the local area and restaurant recommendations

Cot, highchair and stairgate available on request
Cleaning service and baby-sitting can be arranged for a small extra cost
Well-behaved pets welcome with prior agreement

We had a fantastic few days at Lynne and Mike's gite. The location is rural and therefore very peaceful yet everything you could possibly need from day trips to the supermarket is a short drive. Lynne and Mike were very welcoming and the lovely welcome pack even included a very thoughtful present for our 2 year old (who took a shining to the hosts!). Pool, gardens, the house, everything was perfect. We had a lovely, relaxing few days and we'll be back, for longer next time! Thanks!

Lynne & Mike made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived & were great hosts. The gite is full of character, very well maintained & well equipped. It's in a very peaceful location but there is lots to explore in the area. We would definitely stay again!

A glass of bobbles and a warm welcome really was a good start. Our boys loved the pool and could have stayed there forever. They enjoyed diving and splashing in the water. This is a perfect place for a relaxing time.

Jane and her family were very welcoming to their new home. The apartments were clean and modern while keeping a French touch. We loved the area and enjoyed dinner at a nearby restaurant and then dinner on the courtyard. A great place to stay with kids or some friends and I wish Jane the best of luck with the project.
